General Cameron cut short bis STAY In

We strengthened the party Ia PeupevI
vania, and that u how all political psr-
ties IN n country like this can be
stFenthened and maintained. Think
Cleveland Ia going TO have rather bard

President has ever been able 60 win his
party over 10 his own ideas OF his duty
10 the party OF 20 ride against The party
will. This is especially true In this
matter OF the offices. aud don't think
that Cleveland IL likely 20 prove an ex
eeption. Even II be IL stronger with
the conservative people OF the country,
instead Of the politicians--a staiewenI
that l doubt very mueh-he will find
that they are not the mtn 10 win by In

some months ago that ths next PFesi
Dental race would be between Clave
land and blaine over again. / know OF
no reason for changing that opinion
now, and | think that the Republicans
